Love making a difference through retail? Join Vinnies in a rewarding leadership role where you’ll empower your team, support store success, and create positive change.

About the Role

Working at Vinnies is about more than retail—every purchase helps fund vital services that support people experiencing homelessness, financial hardship, and other challenges.

As an Assistant Retail Manager, you'll play a key role in supporting the day-to-day operations of the store, leading by example and creating a positive experience for customers, volunteers, and team members. You'll oversee our busy Donation Area, ensuring donations are processed efficiently and safely while supporting and developing your team. You'll also step into store leadership when the Store Manager is away, helping to keep the store running smoothly and successfully. If you're a hands-on leader who enjoys working alongside your team and tackling new challenges, we'd love to hear from you.

This is a permanent, full-time role with working days across weekdays and weekends.

About You

You're an energetic, hands-on leader with experience in retail, customer service, or a similar fast-paced environment. You enjoy working with people, motivating a team, and creating a positive workplace where everyone feels valued and supported. Organised, adaptable, and customer-focused, you’re passionate about sustainability and love the excitement of discovering hidden gems among pre-loved donations. More than just a job, this is an opportunity to be part of a fun, purpose-driven team where every day is different and you can contribute to a meaningful cause that makes a real difference in the community.

What We Offer

• Enterprise Agreement Classification Level 2 – $31.21 per hour plus weekend penalty rates
• 15% Superannuation plus salary packaging option up to $15,900 per FBT year, with an additional Meals and Entertainment package available up to $2,650 per FBT year
• Ongoing learning and development opportunities, with clear pathways for career progression into store leadership roles.
• Access to our Employee Assistance Program to support your health and wellbeing.

Our commitment to your wellbeing extends beyond these benefits. We continue to enhance the employee experience through a supportive culture, opportunities for professional growth, and meaningful work aligned with our values.
